GD - rate this parking

Could get a tank through that gap!

Not parked, just stopped in the road.

. Not to be sexist but I've got odds on it's woman who has parked that. (I should say that probably the best driver I know personally is a woman.)

Young lass couple of houses from me away parks like that. Also parks just short of a parking space length from any other parked cars so in effect takes up 2 parking spaces.

It's so narrow that it looks like it protrudes into the road about as much as the car parked in front, so it doesn't affect other people any more. That's what's most important IMO - the effect on other people.

And hey, it was nice of the driver to create a sheltered space between their car and the pavement for someone to park a motorbike in

Or this, he is not even in the parking spot in both X and Y axis.

At least he got the Z axis right though.

That's classic British parking. I don't miss it.

Not only too far from the Kerb, but parked wrong way round too. While not strictly illegal under these circumstances, it is still bad form IMO.

Had this gem this week - parked up for 20 minutes like that

Parking against the flow of traffic is illegal in Australia. I saw it all the time in the UK, and it drove me mad.

I’ve noticed parking can be a bit of a free for all in cul-de-sacs. No one seems to actually care.

Don't know if it still is, but I am sure it used to be illegal in the UK for unlit roads during the hours of darkness.

Nevertheless it is still a dumb-ass thing to do any time of day :mad:

That isn't parked, none of these examples are. They just stopped and got out.

BananaDunka · 18 Apr 2019 at 09:18

They were DTF, so can be excused.

You used the url to the imgur page and not the picture location.

It's always the smallest cars that take up the most space on the road.

Also, if we're doing a 'bad parking' thread, here's one I spotted a while back:

- No disabled badge
- Taking up TWO disabled spaces
- Blocking the pathway. They seem to have confused the bollard on the other side of the path as the end of the bay.
